'Techno-Graphy' and ' Porno- Logy': An Analytical Study of Relationship Between the Two
Journal Title: International Journal of Communication and Media Studies (IJCMS) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Ever since the growth of printing press pornography and communication technologies are increasingly becoming complementary to each other. Which means technology plays a very important role in the proliferation of pornography and on the other hand pornography is one of the main driving forces behind many technological innovations. Technology especially the internet has made the production, distribution, and accessibility of porn relatively easy in comparison to the past. In other words, it has democratized pornography. But an ever-increasing presence of pornography in the society raises a moral panic which needs to be dealt with the rational and rigorous scientific backing. The big data originating from online porn plays a very important role in critically analyzing the facts and developing an appropriate political intervention. Online pornography is also diversifying the sexual content available on it for example, live sex, interactive sex is widely available in online porn. On the one hand, women objectification, sexism, violence is on the rise in online porn and on another hand, it is also giving voice to the queer and homosexuals who are not the part of mainstream sexuality so that they can enjoy their sexuality more openly. Instead of outright rejection, a balanced approach is needed to deal with this buzzword, i.e. porn.
